Of course...of course I would have paid my tithe if my preacher was part of the levitical priesthood. The levites had no land inheritance to raise their substance like the rest of the tribes did.
As it stands now, every one of us has the earnest of our inheritance with the Holy Spirit. Many preachers are bivocational. I have no qualms about pitching in for expenses but I do think the big buildings and high salaries go beyond what should be expected. UPC always expected the people to give of their substance and of their time. Why can't the preachers do the same? But that's another thread and one of those threads that go round and round. I cannot understand living off the gospel and asking people to pay for something that Christ freely gave to us.
